My favorite Nintendo Power game counselor story: Someone called and asked how much longer they had to wait? They had already waited 30 minutes! 😂😂 Zelda: A Link to the Past

I’m always amused that 2 games featured on the back of my Nintendo GameCube box never released on it. Also discovered my receipt inside. Apparently I got thru the launch line at 12:25am on 11/18/01. Also references the still fresh 9/11 incident. Paid $199.99.

It’s interesting that with Age of Calamity I experienced fatigue and eventually mainlined it to finish. I’m now over 30 hrs with Age of Imprisonment and am still doing every side quest available. I especially like trying to complete the character quests. It’s a game within the game.

I’m glad Nintendo is giving us new islands in Animal Crossing. I’ve got each area of my current island themed to a holiday and don’t really want to change it!

One of the greatest joys in gaming is taking a chance on a game and discovering you like it much more than expected going in. I’ve had it happen 3 times this year. Drag x Drive, Pokemon Legends Z-A and now Kirby Air Riders. The best part is at 10+ hours, I’m just getting started!

Gaming like it’s 1990 again! Sometimes it’s fun to go back.

I've written a new opinion piece for @IGN about how today's Game Pass Ultimate price hike (the 3rd since 2023) & new console price hikes (the 2nd in 4 months) mean this Xbox generation will be remembered most for one thing: Microsoft's greed. Read/watch:

@nfpublishing.bsky.social I bet I’m one of the few displaying this side of the poster, at least for a while. 😂 I still maintain while the content is light the fun factor is high for Drag x Drive. Still playing it today!

Drag x Drive…better than it’s given credit for imo. Online games are short and a lot of fun, especially if you get teammates willing to pass. (Ball hogs are the worst)

Been a long time since I’ve played Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts. This was the second game I got for my Super Nintendo.

Misc. A Tiny Tale…if you like 3D platformers similar to those of the N64 era, put this on your wishlist to check out after Donkey Kong Bananza. 8 worlds to explore, fun platforming, hidden collectibles, and a heartfelt story. Shame few are talking about it. It’s really good.

@twodollarhero.com I think you mentioned in Misc. A Tiny Tale that the difference made points can be used to learn more about the characters? How do you access that? I don’t see any options on NS2.

The more time I put into the free roam mode of Mario Kart World the more I really appreciate it. I was turned off by the lack of tracking at first but as I hunt the question mark panels in each area and find the other secrets by chance it’s become something I really enjoy jumping into.

Really nice read to summarize the Switch by @brianpshea.bsky.social at Game Informer. Just imagine reading this on the night before Switch released. The excitement we would have felt! www.gameinformer.com/opinion/2025...

What a pleasant surprise! I forgot Super Mario Advance: SMB2 gives you an excuse to play thru it a second time by hiding these Yoshi eggs in each level!

What a nostalgia hit! Kid Icarus was the third game I got for my NES, the second game I ever bought with my own money, and the first game I ever bought knowing this was the game I was getting upon entering the store. Nintendo Power probably sold me on it. Spent a summer playing over and over.

I could not have asked for a better game than Xenoblade Chronicles X to wrap up my experiences with Nintendo Switch 1. Currently at 131 hours and in the last section. While some have quit playing NS1 waiting for NS2, I’ve been playing NS1 a TON during these last couple months.

@lucasmthomas.bsky.social In your Drag X Drive preview in the most recent issue of NF magazine, I think you forgot that Nintendo did vehicular soccer way back in 2000, in Excitebike 64! Love the mag as always! 👍

While I’m really looking forward to spending a lot of time with Mario Kart World and checking out Switch 2 Welcome Tour for the NS2 launch, what I’m actually most excited about is revisiting the Zelda games the the new Notes app. I want to explore those worlds again finding new items.
